Family sail and swim

had a nice 8kn southerly out of the mooring field , shifted westerly through channel and we hove to out front if Manhattan Beach. Lost one side of our traveler, found a replacement ring and swam for 5-10 minutes before heading back. Planned to return to dock to swap crew, so dropped main before entering mooring field. Ended up with gusty westerly and learned the hard way about lee helm. Took us 30 minutes on headsail alone to reach the dock and involved one baby bump with another boat. Dock landing with L was superb though, flawless.
